CPPD Acts To Get 230-KV Line into State from S. D. Columbus, Consumers Pub lic Power District's Board of Directors recently told mana gement to "proceed promptly" in planning to build a 230,000 volt electric transmission line to get power into Eastern Ne braska from the Missouri Basin power facilities near the Nebraska-South Dakota state line. The directive by the Board followed close on the heels of a report to the Directors by CP PD's engineers. The engi neers spent three weeks on the electric analyzer board at Iowa State College at Ames. The electric analyzer board, a min ature electric system, supplied the engineers with the needed in formation on the over-all pow er supply problems in the east ern two-thirds of Nebraska, es pecially where CPPD customers are concerned. The study was made in coop eration with other public power agencies in the state. President Mark T. Moore, of Kearney, and R. L. Schacht, CP PD general manager, supported the engineer's report by pointing out that the line must be built as soon as possible if Nebraska was to get its fair share of low est Missouri Basin power. The engineers, in urging im mediate action on the' 230-KV line to a point in eastern Ne braska from Fort Randall, also told the Directors that a second 230-KV line would be needed be fore 1965 to a point in central Nebraska, perhaps Grand Island. The engineers are studying Lin coln and Columbus as possible points of termination of the east ern line. A main point in the engineer's report was the fact that the elec trical load in eastern Nebraska was growing at such a rapid rate that the 230-KV line must be con- Justus J.

The engineeers reported that heavy irrigation and air condi tioning loads, plus the normal increase in the use of electricity, would be eating up the projected power generating capacity in eastern Nebraska (outside of the Omaha area) within the next few years. That means,, the engineers said, that the 230-KV line is imperative if the power supply is to keep up with the in creased demand. The engineers pointed out that the 230-KV line is needed in Eastern Nebraska to bolster the power supply in the area. It further pointed out that about two-thirds of the area load in the eastern area was required by Consumers customers. Also, that without the line, service con ditions would become unsatis factory, The study also re vealed that unsatisfactory ser vice conditions would prevail in central Nebraska by 1965 which pointed out the need of a second 230-KV line to bolster service in that area. The 230-KV line will make it possible for the state to bring in an additional 25,000 kilowatts of summer firm power. It will put Nebraska in a position to contract for its fair share of fu ture allocation of Missouri Basin Power and with the line inte grated into existing- facilities, the service to the entire area will be greatly improved. President Moore said that CPPD's Board and management must act quickly not only in be half of electric users in eastern Nebraska in general, but for the over 100,000 CPPD customers in particular.
